password JDM ones are designed for steel hoods but can be adaptable to lower pressure for carbon. not sure which you have. someone here installed one designed for an EG so maybe search for that. he has one of the more recent build threads on here but it seemed to fall off the past week...i think he had to dremel the mount a bit and then drill a new hole in the fenderwell to mount one end.

edit: why woudl you buy a part advertised for your car, but shows no picture of the part on you model car? doesn't look too promising.. they don't specify if it will work with OEM hood or if the pressure is appropriate for caron hoods. apparently some dampers stress the mounting point on carbon hoods and crack them

 

yeah I saw that, the ebay ones look rather generic. also NRG has some hood dampers, anybody have any experience with them??

 

They work fine

 

which one is that? looks like OEM hood?

 

damn i take a vacation for a week and shutta freaks out haha.
heres some pics...
Password JDM from a dc2.






damn rusty bolts!!!

 

damn those nrg ones look nice! thats what I am going to get. what model number did you get cause according to www.getnrg.com they dont have one for the prelude, should I just order a generic one for a normal hood? anyplace better to the at for a better price?? installation looks super easy, true?

 

those doo look good! i want them in blue

 

I'd like to get some PWJDM ones, since they're the only ones that are adjustable. However, I'd prefer the CF finish that NRG has, plus I love their products.

Which model would be good for a 4th gen 'lude?

PWJDM = DC2 Integra

NRG = ???

 

awesome. thanks for the help fellas.

*sigh*

 

I would like to know also. Will the dc2 passwordjdm dampers will work with a 4th gen without drilling? NRG will but there will be a resulting gap. I have seen many a 4th gen. here and other forums with dampers. To date only one guy in CA ever made a set of dampers that was a bolt on operation specifically for 4th gens WITHOUT hood gap. I have this set and they open up the hood way too far, pretty much as far as the hood will open.

EDIT: I bought the dampers off a part-out. No, he does not sell them anymore, and yes I will get some pictures up.
